<p>You guys think I could use the Fight Club on the open essay question lol? My favorite book…just don’t think it has any literary merit. </p>
<p>Fight Club has a lot of inner journey stuff. As long as you can say something intelligent about your book, you should be fine.</p>
<p>You could use Fight Club, for sure. Definitely “literary” enough.</p>
<p>Have you taken practice exams?
What score do you need to get to get a 5?
I think I am really bad at multiple choice…what about you guys? </p>
<p>@pringles97
The cut offs that have been published are</p>
<p>5 = 150-113
4 = 112-97
3 = 96-80
2 = 79-52
1 = <51</p>
<p>But it varies year to year.</p>
<p>If you get all 9s on the essays, you’ll need 45.5% on MC for a 5.
If you get all 8s on the essays, you’ll need 58.2% on MC for a 5.
If you get all 7s on the essays, you’ll need 72.7% on MC for a 5.
If you get all 6s on the essays, you’ll need 85.5% on MC for a 5.
If you get all 5s on the essays, you’ll need 100% on MC for a 5.</p>
<p>But yeah…from some of the practice tests I’ve done I have been doing pretty…terrible on the MC if it makes you feel better. Like I am getting usually at best 60%, but a lot 30%-50% right.</p>
<p>Its weird too, I read through the poem or passage and think I have a good idea and know what I am doing, then check my answers and am like…NOPE</p>
<p>So I guess I should just hope I do solid on the essays rofl. </p>
<p>did anyone get a 5 previously?
if you did, what were your scores on the prep exams??
Also, I usually get 14~17 wrong on the mc and get either 6, 7, or 8 on the essays…
what would that be? can that be a 5? </p>
<p>Any last-minute tips for the essays?</p>
<p>I’ve been getting ~42/55 on the practice MC, but I’m not taking a real AP Lit class, so I’ve just been self-grading the essays. Personally, I think my essays fall in the 6-8 range, but I’m not really sure. :/</p>
<p>Does anyone know if we can write about translated works in the third essay? I’m taking AP Latin tomorrow, so I might elect to write an essay about the Aeneid.</p>
<p>I think that would work, if you look at the previous frq’s they say, “You may choose a work from the list below or one of comparable literary merit”</p>
<p>…and…and…in the list the have A Midsummer’s Night Dream, which is technically a translated work becuase nobody reads it in old English</p>
<p>who finished the test today? I did a few hours ago
Do you think it was hard? </p>
<p>o.O Shakespeare wrote A Midsummer’s Night Dream in modern English, just with archaic syntax. </p>
<p>@pringles97 how was the test? Any hints
I’m taking it in an hour</p>
<p>Answers please guyz lol</p>
<p>God am I glad that test was easier than the practice ones, practice ones were MUCH harder </p>
<p>Pretty easy IMO. </p>
<p>Easy stuff this year. :D</p>
<p>I finished WAAAYY early in the frq, so I wrote a fourth essay about Harry Potter using Question 3, and I made a note for the reader to choose to grade which ever essay they liked best :D</p>
<p>So I wrote McMurphy the martyr made men realize manhood as my intro to Essay 3. Idk if graders will appreciate the alliteration…</p>
